Basically, the original alias syntax (in sendmail) would have been:

owner-listname:             listadmin(_at_)their_domain(_dot_)tld

Ah. Smartlist doesn't use the owner-listname: concept. There once a
suggestion to put something at the bottom of the rc.request file that
might accomplish something similar once.

and rewritten to be under the control of a listowner pre-filter:

owner-listname:             "|/usr/local/bin/procmail -m 
/etc/procmailrcs/listowner.rc
  listadmin(_at_)their_domain(_dot_)tld listname"

When doing this sort of thing, does Procmail intercept the incoming
email before Sendmail has had a chance to attach the Return-Path: ?
I do have a similar pipe that sends the incoming email off to a 
nice virus filter before being delivered to the respective Smartlist
but the Return-Path: is missing, infact, the Return-Path: seems to
be missing on incoming emails bound for distribution by Smartlist,
generally speaking.
